The girl band Morning Musume announced last Friday that it is holding a worldwide "Original Promotional Video Contest." Entrants can create a music video with footage that the group provides, and the group's members and producer
Tsunku will judge the results. The results will be announced at the
Anime Expo convention in Los Angeles this July. More details are available at the group's MySpace
page. Morning Musume's latest CD, "Shouganai Yumeoibito,"
became the #1 single in Japan this past week. The CD single includes "3,2,1 - Breakin' Out!" — the
theme song of this year's
Anime Expo.
